May Day Basket freebie!!!

Happy Monday!

 

 

My kiddos are making these tomorrow and thought

maybe you guys would like these too!

We are practicing spelling words this week with

suffixes so that's what we will be doing with

these super cute May Day baskets.

But, you could practice many different skills

with this project. :)

Measurement Freebie!!!

Here's a little measurement freebie for you!

 

Remember when I showed you here a few weeks ago how

I was working on this...

Well, I did NOT think it would take me this long to complete

my measurement unit about length...so I thought

since you have all be soooo patient,

I would share one of the activities with you for FREE!

Click here or on the pics below to download a copy for yourself. :)

This is an acitivity that my students did when we first began

our measurement unit. They have to figure out what

attributes could be measured for each object.

There are 12 different object picture cards and a

recording sheet included.

The picture cards come in color and black and white

versions.

I sure hope to have the rest of the unit ready tomorrow evening,

but we shall see... :)

 

Enjoy the FREEBIE!!!

what I'm working on...

I'm soooo glad that tomorrow is Thursday!!!

I have SO much to get done before our open house

next week...yikes!

The kiddos will be displaying work from our Open Court Reading

unit all about courage, our Flat Stanley projects, and 

a lot more.

Here's a little preview of what I'm working on this week!

 

 

 

I'm having a lot of fun creating these measurement

activities and games. :)

Hopefully...it will be done soon.

I'm working on it a little bit each night and finishing

up only what I need for the next day's lesson.

So at the end, I'll have a little measurement unit

all about length ready for ya!

I'm also hoping to do one for capacity too since

that's what is up next in our math series....enVision math anyone???

Also.....I KNOW you Kansas and Missouri teachers are out there.

Leave me your email if you want to meet up!

Kelley and I had a great time a few months ago when we met

up for lunch and want to do it again but the more the merrier!!!

 

We KNOW meeting the two of us is on your bucket list,

soooooooooo why don't you just admit it?!?!?

Ha!

Totally joking...

I would just be thrilled to meet other local

teachers and be encouraged and inspired by YOU!

Let me know, ladies :)

Have a great rest of your week!

 

I got tagged...and a thank you!

there.

2. What current fashion trend are you loving right now?

Colored jeans. LOVING my new pair of coral jeans :)

3. What current education trend are you currently loving right now?

Ummm...blogging! It's pretty much an idea-overload and its awesome!

4. What is your go to food or snack?
